Very helpful and comforting!Aug. 27 2001

Format: Paperback

Before getting my own copy last year, I often borrowed this from various public libraries. I've really benefitted from the combination of the Scriptures and 12 Steps and recovery principles. I've looked at other recovery-oriented Bibles but was not as pleased with their content or approach as I am with Zondervan's Recovery Devotional Bible. Throughout the text of the Scriptures, related 12 steps are indicated with blue brackets and corresponding Step numbers. What's more, there are devotional pieces written by various authors about how we in recovery can find hope and strength from God, the true and only Higher Power.

Recovery Devotional BIBLE (NIV)Aug. 8 2007

Format: Paperback

This is an excellent resource for anyone that is working through the traditional 12-STEP program, which was first introduced with Alcoholics Anonymous and now numerous groups. If you choose to read the Bible from cover to cover, you will find daily meditations to accompany your reading that will use Scripture to explain and give application toward your recovery. In the columns next to the Scriptures, numbers indicating the various STEPS are listed to show their relevance to the 12-STEP program. This powerfull tool comes in the New International Version of the Bible, which I believe is the best modern English Bible. Of course, there are many more valuable treasures that are within this great resource, but you will have to discover them for yourself.

New to RecoveryMarch 19 2009

Format: Paperback

As someone new to the 12-step program world, I have been looking for a way to get "plugged back in" spiritually. This Bible has been great for that. My favorite part of the Bible is in the back, there is a list that says if you are feeling a certain way (wanting to binge, abandoned by God, wanting to skip your 12-step meeting), then read these particular verses. It's helpful at your low points to point you exactly where you need to go. I also like that the devotionals are related to each of the steps, so as I go through certain steps in my journey I can pick and choose which ones to study.

I purchased my first copy many years ago. Sometimes, I use it as a gift. Mostly I use it to help me keep on the track of recovery --- over eating, is one of several issues for me. The folks that contribuite are the voices of experience. Very encouraging and worthwhile.

This is Awesome!Feb. 1 2010

We started a recovery bible study group at our church using this and it has been wonderful. This book makes the bible into something relevant to everyday life. Besides which it is a wonderful catalyst for discussion and getting those who do not share to share. It's a keeper! Just wish you stocked in hardback!
